When a society creates a government that sets out to redistribute the people's wealth, those in that government always end up like the bank robber dividing up the heist: One for you, one for me One for you, two for me One for you, three for me One for you, four for me Etc, etc.........
I still remember my my Father's passing, some 5 months before B.O.s first election... He told me so! He'll remain a highly astute WW2 hero in my mind...

This is a fundemental problem I have with born into wealth Democrats fighting for the common man. Some have their hearts in the right place, but not their wallets. They don't get the reality of being poor or even middle class; they've never been there. How Nancy Pelosi or Al Gore can champion themselves as spokespeople for the middle and lower class is beyond me. It's paternalistic, and it's demeaning in a way.
